Luke 10:34-35 (NIV)•God has been kind to me. And, by the way, it wasn’t some casual favour. It is extravagant kindness that God has shown to us. •Kindness is an act of worship. •Kindness honours God. •Showing kindness makes us happy. •Being kind makes other people want to be kind to you. •God blesses those who are kind, and repays us for any kindness we do to others. “Feed the hungry and help those in trouble. Then your light will shine out from the darkness, and the darkness around you will be light as day.........You will be like a well-watered garden, like an ever-flowing spring” Isaiah 58:10-11 (NLT) “Dear God, thank You for Your extravagant kindness to me. I’m so grateful that you sent Jesus Christ to die for me. Father, I don’t want to be unkind or apathetic: I really want to be more loving. Help me to slow down and start seeing and sensing the needs of people around me. Help me to be a better listener so I can sympathise with people. When interruptions come, help me to see them as opportunities to grow in kindness, to be more loving. Help me to be willing to take risks and conquer my fears in order to help others. Help me to make myself available to you today, so you can use me to show Your kindness and love to others. In Your name, I pray. Amen.” To see all content, you will need the current version of Adobe Flash Player to view it. |
